LPT: If you have dogs and are expecting your first child, start conditioning them for ear grabs and tail pulls and such. It will pay off.

We have 2 pittys . Once we learned we were expecting we started gradually conditioning them. After 8+ months of us if us messing with the dogs, we could yank their tails while they were in a dead sleep without them even waking up. That paid off tremendously when our kids became mobile and started exploring like kids do. No growls , no snips. Just 2 dogs acting like its another day at the office. Our kids are 4 and 1 now , and both the kids and the dogs favorite thing to do is nap with each other.
